here you go tribal:

all i did was get some aluminum tubing and cut it out so it only had 2 sides, a back and a bottom, then used self tapping screws to screw it onto the frame that you see in the pic, then i drilled a hole on the bottom of it to mount the actual light onto, except i shaved the bracket thing that came on the bottom of the light so it would sit flat and sturdy onto the metal, then the ground is on the bottom of the bracket under the same bolt

Looks sweet. Do they come on with the stock fog lights or did you have to install a secondary switch for them?

my brother decided to mount a switch for his lights under his dashboard, but when i do mine, i think tomorrow, i'm gunna try to rig it up to come on with the rest of my brights so that it will become a 10 high mod - not sure how im gunna do that though

Police cars... Fire Department Chief's trucks and support cars.. town work trucks...name it. At work I deal with emergency lighting but mainly radio systems.

dammit! I thought I was the only one with those. I've got it on my '96 though, so I may be the only one with them with the obs. They turned out really nicely though, good job. Props on the fabricated mounts.

Very cool. Would make for a great show mod. Howabout wiring it to the onstar button? Is that possible or would you have to use a seperate switch?

onstar button? i dont have that in my car but my brother does, we will soon be making a 4-5 switch board that goes in place where his cassette player used to be, its going to be a pretty easy mod, all i need is a sheet of plastic to drill 4 or 5 holes in and glue it on the backside of that cassette player hole

I think the nali grill will block a good bit of the light.
